This picture was taken in early Sept 2001, upon their ride up and back in less than
one week from Goose-bay, Labrador, including the mandatory 1600 km of
dirt roads. It appears however, that their season of trying to get in trouble
was not over yet for this year. So, in mid-Nov. ,they left for the Baja California
peninsula in Mexico in order to see how much more trouble, they could get into,
before they were forced to put their trusted and much abused R 1100 GS away,
for their very well deserved winter break. (I am talking about the
GS here, not the clowns). |

Simple, we were told that we just looked a tad too happy in some of the photos from
our last adventure, (picture above). So we thought that Pete's wife (Charlotte)
and my girlfriend (Natacha) might appreciate a little more
sadness on our part. We don't want them to think we're having too much fun when
we are away from them…right…? Don't forget, when they hear us tell all about
our long tales when we return, we make it sound as though we were having
such a hard time out there in adventureland, and they would not have enjoyed
one moment of it…Sure they say …So, this is what this picture was for…Would
it fool you …? I think we may have to work on those expressions a little more
yet.: (we only hope they will appreciate the effort involved in looking this bad
after a full 3 weeks of practice) next, we are showing 4 essential items required before you venture into Baja: 1-
agua, water purified of course. 2- extra gas even with a 400 km range , you can
never assume that gas will be available where you think it will ,on the back roads.
3- imodium , and pray you won't need it. 4- a comfortable folding
kermitt chair, for the 12 hours of darkness every night (sun sets around
5 pm, rises at about 6 am) |
